Sorry: People are not like car radiators--you cannot flush out the system--even a large intake of fluid (which could pose health hazards) will only change the water soluble concentration you are seeking to modify by a little bit in the short term. If you were seeking more of a 'detox' approach, increasing fluids over several days can help a little, but slow process.

Yes/no: When they go to stomach and get absorbed into blood stream........some stay in circulation, some get bound to specific protein, some get deposited, some are metabolized in time- dependant path. Be specific about the drug......
